And thank you to Macik now I understand that the spoiler feature was only implemented for markitup and has not been ported to CKEditor. Looking on the CKEditor website I've found this add-on which is probably what I want. I'll write back if I get it working.

Having tried it, adding hr.more {display:none;} to my style sheet just hides the hr tag (go figure!).

Can someone just simply explain to me, how do I implement a read more... or spoiler feature in cotonti pages (preferably using the ckeditor)?

By default spoiler functionality implemented in Cotonti's Markitup editor.

There is no common inplementation of «read more» for full page view.

{PAGE_ROW_TEXT_CUT}
<!-- IF {PAGE_ROW_TEXT_IS_CUT} -->{PAGE_ROW_MORE}<!-- ENDIF -->

Or in a list:

{LIST_ROW_TEXT_CUT}
<!-- IF {LIST_ROW_TEXT_IS_CUT} -->{LIST_ROW_MORE}<!-- ENDIF -->

In CKEditor, click on the 'read more' button. This will add the hr.more line and the text will be cut off there.

Can someone just simply explain to me, how do I implement a read more... or spoiler feature in cotonti pages (preferably using the ckeditor)?

My question is, what was the intended output? I'm assuming it hides the content beyond the hr element (hence me reviving this thread). Secondly, does anyone have the correct code to enable this behaviour?

So other point is right:

1. This mechanics supposed to be used for truncation (cuting) page text to allow show only main part of pages in page lists (native page list or other like news feed). See tags {PAGE_ROW_TEXT_CUT}
2. Yes, it's works as «<!--more-->» tag. You can see `cot_cut_more()` function code (page.functions.php line 32-57).
3. It's only working if page tags are genereated through `cot_generate_pagetags()` function with 3rd parameter > 0 (page.functions.php lines 141-147, 180). So it's not working while displaying full page view as it generated with 0 as third parameter (no cutting supposed).
4. But it's intend to use {PAGE_ROW_TEXT_CUT} tag where possible (page lists or news feeds).

I'd just add

hr.more {display:none;}

to the styles
 

This is not good for several reasons:

1. Pages with a news feed or other pages feed cutted with this hack can be oversized and long time to load.
2. Unneccessary text can be indexed on page.
3. Search engines not loved huge volume of hidden text on pages.

On the current editor, CKEditor, there exists a button labelled: Insert "Read more" page cut

Clicking it inserts the code: 

<hr class="more" />

Now, as I don't have any specific css pointing to the "more" class a simple horizontal bar is rendered. My question is, what was the intended output? I'm assuming it hides the content beyond the hr element (hence me reviving this thread). Secondly, does anyone have the correct code to enable this behaviour?

This feature intend to use with `page` module. It's aim to point possition in text where it'll be cuted with `cot_cut_more` funciton. Therefor you must use `{PAGE_ROW_TEXT_CUT}` that contains «cut» version of page.  If you look at news plugin templates you can find these tags.

Macik: I don't think you understand what you're saying. When hr.more is inserted in the text, it works as a <!--more--> tag. All you have to do is just hide it (unless you want to see it). The page is not cluttered -- try it.

I'd just add

hr.more {display:none;}

to the styles

As for second question —this feature intend to use with `page` module. It's aim to point possition in text where it'll be cuted with `cot_cut_more` funciton. Therefor you must use `{PAGE_ROW_TEXT_CUT}` tag to use cut text functionallity.
